Our final session of the day brought together a powerhouse panel of experts led by Lorraine Bardeen, CVP and CTO, Commercial Solutions Area at Microsoft, Marinela Profi, Global Product Strategy Lead for AI at SAS and Chris Kraft, Deputy CTO for AI & Emerging Technology at DHS. Lorraine shared with us a framework in which to view Gen AI, emphasizing three top learnings: Provide good data for the best results, equip your AI with business strategy and embrace the change. These key practices will help channel data to maximize trusted, accurate results. Highlighted in the discussion was that no matter the technology trend, you always start with data and more data doesn’t necessarily mean better. Using relevant data can be both cost saving and help remove the risk of duplication and unnecessary noise. Thank you, panelists, for spending your afternoon with HITEC and sharing with us how to leverage AI for good!
